Glasco leaving

[JMV JustMyView]

Glasco is 100% about recruiting.

His summer league coaching stints were for just that.

Really? He recruited pro players to come play college ball for UL?

This is where I'm at.

It could be a part of it, but we were still competing in softball even with a huge question mark in the NIL stuff. The team was stacked for next year. I'm not buying that NIL resources were the reason you'd take a step down to a team that's a total build from the foundation.

The guy is 65. You can't imagine he is going to coach for much longer. The move seems stranger and stranger.

Great post and accurate.

If Glasco takes Landry and a couple of our good hitters with him, how confident are you we beat Texas Tech head to head?

Couldn’t say. Have to see who we lose, who our coach and assistants are and what players they bring in.

100% accurate.

It makes you wonder why money is being spent to renovate stadiums and upgrade facilities, etc. A few years ago, that was the one chance to compete at the G5 level. I’m not sure that’s possible anymore. I certainly don’t want to just give up, but unless some miracle P4 invite comes, you’re basically at a point of just spinning your wheels.

This calendar school year…

Football: One G5 school gets invited to the party with a NY6 bowl invite (not an actual chance at a title, but at least on the stage). Liberty got smashed 45-6

Basketball: Neither the men’s Elite 8, nor the women’s elite 8 had a single G5 school

Baseball: Omaha is the Elite 8. Only the SEC and the ACC were represented.

Softball: No G5s in OKC. In fact, there were no G5 schools that even made a Super Regional.

And with the new ability for the P4 to fund full rides for all players PLUS pay the players while they’re there…does anyone think this is gonna get better for the G5?

I HATE what college sports has become, but anybody who’s paying attention can see that any hopes at all for postseason glory for a G5 school, which was already pretty slim, is bordering on extinction.

Many of those extra spending p4 teams will be losers, likely 50pct, so then what? There has to be another purpose behind this spending amd what it is for, especially since no profits are ever saved, 100pct in,105pct out it seems

UL turned 2 star players such as ike taylor and jake delhomme into hall of fame caliber and super bowl caliber players, that information has been out there for decades, yet it doesnt move the needle. Look how many 5 stars that S-E-C schools have squandered and not made it to the pros

He was the coach filling out the lineup card. No actual coaching was going on. He said that himself.

With the settlement between the NCAA and "P5" that essentially allows schools to directly pay athletes, I'm guessing the way forward for schools like us is going to be for every ticket sold to have an athletes' fund fee applied. There will be a lot of people (me included) that don't have the funds or stomach to pay directly into a collective. But I won't really blink twice at a hopefully meager fee applied to each ticket.

Would encourage programs to push for ticket sales and attendance. Win/win.

Still advertising, no two ways about it, kept his name in the softball conversation year round. No such thing as a cold call with HS players who were keeping up with their sport.

Your point adds to why he is 100% about reruiting.

The better the player, the less his coaching decisions matter.

NIL is bigger than salary with Glasco

You have no idea how many good players chose Louisiana because of knowing the schools name due to Delhomme an Tillman.
